How to Take an Ice Bath – Temperature, Duration & Safety

Ideal Ice Bath Temperature

For most healthy adults, aim for 10–15°C for 5–10 minutes. Beginners should start at higher temperatures for 2–3 minutes, then work down.

Best Practices for Ice Bath Safety

  • Avoid hot showers immediately after—let your body warm naturally.
  • Always have someone nearby, especially for first sessions.
  • Those with cardiovascular or circulation issues should seek medical advice first.
